Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from carrying a firearm in certain buildings owned or leased by the state or a local government if properly posted. This bill allows the state or a local government to post vehicles that are part of a public mass transportation system. A person who carries a firearm on a posted vehicle is subject to a Class B forfeiture, which is the same penalty as carrying a firearm into a building that is posted by the state or a local government.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
